36

rosia and i decided to go back to the hotel since it was starting to get dark, i don't know how the time went by so quickly but it was sunset already.

as we were walking back i pulled out my phone and took a picture of the pretty sunset, rosia did the same.

"some guy's head got in my picture, can you send me yours?" she frowned, deleting the pic and looking at me.

"yeah sure," i replied and sent it to her.

when we finally got back to the hotel we were starving so we went to the restaurant to eat dinner, just the two of us on a table. we ordered whatever we wanted and waited for our food.

"oh yeah.. eleanor, i saw something online about you and kevin again,"

"oh god, what is it this time?" i groaned.

she unlocked her phone and showed me an article online.

'Kevin Álvarez confirms new relationship with Eleanor Silva. What happened to João Felix? Read here to find out more.. '

i clicked on read more and it showed a video of an interview with kevin.

"people have seen you and eleanor together, are you two in a relationship?" a reporter asked, holding a microphone in their hand.

"yes, we are." kevin smiled. "she came to me after joão cheated on her with penny, and well - we fell in love. i love her a lot." he spoke into the mic.

at this point i didn't event want to hear anymore of his annoying voice and his lies. i turned the phone off and gave it back to rosia,

"who does this boy think he is?" i scowled. "talking about how we're 'dating' when we literally have talked once,"

she shrugged. "it's because you're pretty but yeah he's acting so weird with his lies. does joão know?"

"he knows about kevin kissing me but diego sent him the whole video of what happened so he didn't get mad or think i was cheating luckily,"

-

after finishing our dinner we said bye and went into our separate rooms. i unlocked the door and got into bed next to joão who was sleeping, he pulled me closer and we fell asleep

-

the next morning was the game against switzerland and joão was stressed.

we were on the coach but joão was looking out the window and i can feel how tense he is, and how his hands are shaking badly.

"joão." i put my hand on his and it stops shaking. "relax, you've got this,"

he looks at me and his gaze softens, he gives me a small smile but doesn't say anything back. i pull him onto me so that his head is resting on my shoulder.

i decided that there wasn't any need for me to talk anymore so we just stayed in that position until we got to the stadium, after a couple of minutes the coach came to a halt. we got out as joão went in the changing rooms while me and rosia sat in the stands.

i bit my nail and said, "i'm scared."

"same." she replied.

-

the game finally started and portugal had already scored 2 goals against switzerland at 32 minutes. and at 50 minutes the score changed to 3-0.

four minutes later raphael luckily made the score 4-0 but unfortunately switzerland scored so it turned into 4-1. portugal we're still ahead by three so it was okay.

and soon enough ramos scored another goal, making it a hat trick - he surprised me as he played really well this match.

to top it off, rafael leao made another goal for portugal and the game ended with 6-1. me and rosia screamed in excitement with the rest of the crowd, cheering on for our home countries.

i felt bad for ronaldo because he had to sit out but i assumed he was very happy that his team had won so.

after the crowd started to disappear me and rosia waited for our boys - even though joão didn't score i was extremely proud of him and how good he played in todays match.

when he came out i hugged him and he hugged me back smiling,

"i wasn't even good," he rolled his eyes playfully. "what's this for?"

"you played good but i think you need a shower right now," i chuckled.

"yeah yeah whatever," he said and pecked my lips before letting go of our hug.

soon after my brother came out and rosia and them kissed blah blah blah)

we all decided to go to this restaurant together but firstly go back to the hotel to change and shower etc, we got in the coach and me and joão listened to music on my airpods before we finally reached the hotel.

"you know what i think we should do to not waste water?" he suggested as we entered our room.

"don't even think about it."

"next time then?"

"maybe, if you get in the shower now instead of talking to me."

with a groan he took his towels and locked the bathroom door behind, i chuckled quietly and laid on the bed with my phone in my hand when it suddenly vibrated.

i put my phone down and rushed to the door, unlocking it. there stood my favourite cousin, her parents were my aunt and uncle who's house i was staying at in portugal. she is very famous for being an actress so she could go anywhere she wanted to, plus she loved travelling so she was rarely at home.
